Can you find any crash logs?

Comment 4 unhills 2015-03-18 18:36:37 UTC
Nope, I couldn't find any logs. 

The icon just jumps on the dock and quits after a second.
Comment 5 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2015-03-19 13:39:47 UTC
Is the Java installation required by NetBeans still present?

What happens when you try running NetBeans from terminal?

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ 8.0.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/bin/netbeans

Can you attach message.log which you would find under the following path in your home?

Library/Application\ Support/NetBeans/8.0.2/var/log/messages.log
Comment 6 unhills 2015-03-19 15:39:25 UTC
1, yes, i was able to run netbeans successfully via terminal

/Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ 8.0.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/bin/netbeans 

this msg appears after run in terminal
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=32m; support was removed in 8.0

2, i can't find log in Library/Application\ Support/NetBeans/8.0.2/var/log/messages.log because there is no such dir as netbeans in application support

Good.

Try eliminating the problem with running via icon by uninstalling and installing again.

In the running NetBeans you should see the correct path to your netbeans userdir in the About box.

I'm having the same problem. My Netbeans 8.0.2 isn't opening on my MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015). The icon jumps on the dock and the loading page pops up but quits after a second. I do have Java JDK installed. Would appreciate help on how to fix this problem. I also don't know what a "terminal" refers to (mentioned by anebuzelsky@netbeans.org ) and would appreciate if someone could explain; maybe my solution could be found that way.
